Those of you interested in the philosophical question:

	"why is it that great minds have a tendancy to
	parcel up collections of great ideas into
	intertwingled and abstract cacophonies that
	render them essentially useless at the time
	of their creation and condemn the rest of
	us mortals to re-invent the ideas one by
	bit a decade or so later" 

might like to look at this exchange between Eliot Kimber and I
three years ago:
